My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today.
Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man. Just last month, on Sept. 14, he turned 90, on the same day Brad and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. I will always treasure that he and I shared that date.
Walter was more than Chekov. He was a writer, a teacher, a thoughtful man, and a loyal friend. To the fans who loved him for so many years, thank you. He loved you too.
Rest well, my dear friend. Keep navigating a steady course.

"High functioning" and "low functioning" aren't imprecise labels.
They're pathology-paradigm labels - and I reject the paradigm, not just the wording.
There's no such thing as a high or low functioning autistic person.
There are autistic people whose support needs are visible, and autistic people whose support needs get ignored.
The labels don't describe us.
They sort us - by how useful we look to others.
Refuse the sorting.
All of it.
"Why Young Women Aren’t Ashamed Of Disability Anymore"
I tried to come up with a short, pithy thing to say about this, but honestly, I don't want to summarize this. It's worth reading & thinking about.

If you've been blocked by me and don't know why, it's likely you or an account you have boosted posts nude men, cw'd or not, or that you posted "ai" generated images, which will result in an instant and permanent block
